Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

"

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was born in Edinburgh. Educated by the Jesuits at Stonyhurst, Doyle entered the medical school at Edinburgh University in 1876, working as a doctor's assistant at times to help pay the fees. He graduated in 1881 and, after Greenland and African voyages as a ship's doctor, went into practice at Southsea, Portsmouth.

Conan Doyle had started to write while he was a medical student, and at twenty he had a story published in Chamber's journal. Sherlock Holmes first appeared in A Study in Scarlet (1887), and from 1891 he featured regularly in stories for the Strand Magazine.

To replace Holmes, Conan Doyle created Etienne Gerard, a young French cavalry officer from the time of the Napoleonic Wars, whose memoirs were collected as The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard (1896) and its sequel, Adventures of Gerard.

Knighted in 1902, Conan Doyle produced more than 60 books in the course of his career, including songs, poetry and historical fiction in the spirit of Scott. But his greatest literary achievement lay in his short stories, unrivalled in the mingling of character, action and atmosphere, whether Holmesian or Gerardine.

Samenvatting

In The Lost World, the first in a series of books to feature the bold Professor Challenger&;a character many critics consider one of the most finely drawn in science fiction&;Challenger and his party embark on an expedition to a remote Amazonian plateau where, as the good professor puts it, &;the ordinary laws of Nature are suspended&; and numerous prehistoric creatures and ape-men have survived. &;Just as Sherlock Holmes set the standard&;and in some sense established the formula&;for the detective story . . . , so too has The Lost World set the standard and the formula for fantasy-adventure stories . . . ,&; Michael Crichton writes in his Introduction. &;The tone and techniques that Conan Doyle first refined in The Lost World have become standard narrative procedures in popular entertainment of the present day.&;
